I ran both of your queries through tsql and isql (unixODBC's tool) on my
Linux box and saw the rounding problem. What case were you in to not
see the rounding?

Unfortunately, it looks like everything from FreeTDS in ODBC mode
automatically gets converted to a string. Is there a way around that
too?

I think you mean when you SELECT something of type MONEY and convert it
to a string?

It looks like that's FreeTDS's behavior. Microsoft's isql.exe does the
same thing.

1> select cast(.116 as money)
2> go

------------------------
0.12

I note their ODBC tools don't round.

1> select cast(.116 as smallmoney)
2> go

------------
.1160
